Noya's Kitchen in Bath and North East Somerset

Delicious meal and cocktails - Diolch/thanks

I like to think myself an honest person and I also like to give an honest review so restaurants can improve where needed. The restaurant itself is a quaint and beautiful place. However the tables are far too close together and I felt extremely squished whilst sat. Myself and my mother booked for lunch on a Saturday. The staff were extremely polite, however there wasn’t enough of them in my opinion. We ordered cocktails to start which were the hibiscus woo and the hibiscus mimosa, these were delicious and worth a rating of 5*. We ordered our food promptly and the starter was served reasonably quickly. After finished it sat on the table for a long time before it was collected and we were waiting a good 40 minutes for our mains. When the mains came they looked incredible, but unfortunately were barely warm. I sent mine back and the waitress was very polite about the matter and also apologetic. I had the chicken curry which was delightful, these pickled red onions complimented it well. I do think the price was a little steep for what you get. I just think that today was unfortunate. Had they have been adequately staffed I feel our experience would have been a better one, but I can only review on the experience we had.

The peanut pork belly noodles is one of the best meals I’ve had in years. Service amazing. My favourite restaurant in Bath.

Wonderful weekday dinner with really tasty food and cocktails. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

very good Vietnamese restaurant! Authentic flavors and good service!

Terribly disappointed With the food

Some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had !! Such nice atmosphere and lovely service, would book ahead! Mango ice cream was amazing so creamy!

Lovely food, fresh and very tasty, heat/spices perfect. Friendly service.

Absolutely amazing food. I had pork dumplings and fish with noodles which had wonderful flavours and careful presentation. Thank you Noya- we will be back!!

It’s been days, and I still can’t stop thinking about those chicken wings. Or the bun bo. Absolutely magnificent: thank you!

Freshly prepared food that is busting to your buds and tasty. It's worth the visit. I had starter Vietnamese roll and tofu noodles with peanut sauce. While my friend had chicken curry.

What a find this is. Worth travelling to just for the food, I am very envious of those living in Bath as this would be my go to restaurant week in week out. The flavours are awesome, the choice of food narrow but wide enough to genuinely have a good range of choice. Been twice now, already planning a 3rd visit.

Fantastic food at Noya's. Really fresh, beautifully cooked, and a lovely ambience in the small but perfectly-formed restaurant. The ribs for starters are enough for two (or three even) to share, so be careful how much food you order. Curry was amazing, as was the Bun Bo. We loved it, and will definitely be back. 10/10.

The best food I’ve had in a long long time!!! Every dish was insanely delicious. Not only is every dish out of this world it is extremely generous portions. The ribs as are a starter are a must have, and the chicken curry should be on everyone’s order.

Absolutely incredible food, the best thai curry I've ever had! A unique range of teas as well

Utterly brilliant food. Slight mix-up with our booking but it was sorted with minimal fuss. We’ll be back soon.

Delicious food, regardless of other reviews below. Big portions, quality ingredients, great food experience. The pork noodles dish was fantastic!

A small busy very busy place - well worth booking in advance. A small menu which covers what you want to see from a vietnamese restaurant. Staff really helpful if you have questions. Food was very yummy!

The food was absolutely delicious. Great service, all round great experience.

Magic! Came here for a surprise birthday that my partner set up for me and the team made it super special, all set up with a birthday sign and bubbles ready. We recently returned from Vietnam and it was like being transported back, the food was absolutely spot on!! Fresh and delicious with a small menu done very, very well. Fast service all with a huge smile. Emily and Claudie couldn't do more for us. We will definitely come back, a firm new favourite! Pre booking essential!!

Another lovely meal at Noya's Kitchen. Lovely flavours and a very pleasant atmosphere. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Fabulous flavourful food. Prompt and courteous service.

Noya's Kitchen is such a treat. The food is so good, fresh ,absolutely delicious and the portions are larg. I took three friends and they were very happy with my choice and am sure we will be meeting there again.

Second time here and loving it even more! Both my partner and I ordered slow cooked pork bun (noodles) which were so goood! Generous portion too! The pork just fell apart and the sauce with peanut butter goes so well with everything. Recommended to try their drinks too! we had Pandan Pop and that was nice if you fancy a hint of pandan. Coconut ice cream and mango ice cream were a nice finish of the meal! and speaking from someone from Asia I could say this is quite authentic Asian taste! Would definitely go back :)

Such delicious, authentic Vietnamese food and great, friendly service. Thank you!

Great place for a pho stop. One of the better pho i have had and the service was great and friendly. Definitely a stop if you like Vietnamese food

Delightful food, friendly staff, and a garden to boot. Recommended (particularly the Bun [noodles] and drip coffee).

We love Noya’s kitchen and once again has not disappointed; the food was excellent! The service was also impeccable, nice to see smiley faces and care. Maybe a tiny thing that can be done better is the moving tables and chairs at the end of the evening whilst people are still dining; I understand everyone is keen to go home at the end of their shifts, but dragging the tables can be very noisy and ruin the atmosphere.

Amazing food & Service , we will be back. Thanks to the two staff who were working yesterday { Mothers Day } you made us feel at home . And yes the coffee was lush !!

Saturday lunchtime so pretty busy but the service was immaculate, the food was out of this world, the pork dumplings were sublime and the whole experience was absolutely brilliant. Noya’s is definitely one of the best places to eat in Bath. Highly recommended.

Very nice. Authentic Vietnamese cuisines 😉😋

Summary: The most European Asian restaurant which I have ever seen in the UK which can be easily skipped. I have ordered crispy dumplings, chicken curry and spicy beef noodles. Dumplings were just weird. I have never seen deep fried dumplings in my entire life. It didn't taste good. 2/5 Chicken curry was tasty and chicken super tender so I could rate it as 4/5 Beef noodles had tasteless noodles and tasteless broth. Not much flavour however it had a lot of meat. 3/5 I had mixed feelings. From one side it was an OK lunch however curry and noodles cost £18-19 each. It's not a super luxury food. Those are very down to earth dishes. You can find much better quality for a lower price somewhere else. A year ago I ordered same curry and it was for £14. One year and nearly 1/3 higher price. Also: please do not add an optional service charge and act passive aggressive when I ask you to remove it.

Disfrutamos de la comida, porciones sabrosas y generosas. No es barato, así que uno para una ocasión especial para mí, no una comida diaria. Bonito ambiente, no demasiado ruidoso.

The most delicious flavours and menu. I have lived in Bath for so many years and never been here until last weekend. The staff were so friendly and great. The food was delicious - had prawn rice noodle rolls to start with, then pork belly noodles with a delicious sauce. The flavours were incredible. I will definitely return.

Fabulous food and friendly staff

First time here, food was great, generous portions, lovely staff, will definitely be back

Lovely tasty food ,large portions nice atmosphere, great staff. Will definitely be back. Enjoyed the wine too, was too full for dessert

Lovely. Great staff and excellent food..

Food was fantastic, absolutely delicious, full of flavour, cannot fault, 5*. What dropped the review to only 4* was that the place looks a bit dirty (rather than just shabby) round the edges, and as the last booking of the day, it felt like staff were in a rush to get us out, so brought our orders out too quickly and just felt rushed (the cover is up to 1hr 20min, but we'd finished two courses and a drink by 45mins as were rushed). Would come back for the food though. Recommend booking ahead as this place is popular.

Really good food, little bit pricey for the chicken curry, but it was good.

Me and my partner came to eat at Noyas yesterday and were so impressed with the food. The portions were perfect and the ratio of proteins to noodles and rice were probably the best I've experienced in a restaurant setting. Shout out to Noyas mums chicken curry recipe, that sauce 🤯🤤 The staff were super friendly and really helpful. Also the green tea was the best I've ever had. Thanks guys 🌞

Amazing place.Everyting is so delicious.Servuce is wonderful.10/10

This was a lovely lively little place and the food was delicious, I had the turmeric fish and my cousin had a noodle dish with 3 meats (she didn’t enjoy the ham included) but it was fresh tasty food which we both enjoyed. Would definitely go back

Really relaxed place to eat with excellent food and choice

This is an excellent place. Booking essential as everyone has caught onto how brilliant the food and service are! Laid back but attentive, and the food is so tasty and delicious! Also recommended is the Vietnamese apple and ginger cider!

We were looking for a restaurant with a difference and we are certainly glad we found Noya’s Kitchen. Fantastic food and friendly, attentive staff made it a meal to remember. Try the chicken curry, It’s amazing!

What a little gem. Yummy, expertly balanced flavours and perfect service - also very good value. Cute place and very busy so plenty of atmosphere.

Always a pleasure to visit The best

Booked a table for 2 persons about a week in advance, prior to a music gig at the forum. So glad we did, for a Thursday evening they were fully booked and I can see why! The food is amazing and the service fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the pork dumplings and sweetcorn fritters as a starter and the chicken Thai green curry was fabulous 😋 Loved the vibe here. Big shout out to Meg who took my food allergies seriously with a professional and friendly manner 😊 Will definitely be returning as we live local 🥰

The food was excellent, with generous portions, and the service was lovely. I also loved the decoration and beautiful wallpaper. My only downside was being asked to leave due to a table reservation, even though we had only been there for about an hour and a half (perhaps even less), and I hadn't finished my meal! It would have been helpful if they had informed us about it from the start. I hope this was just a one-off incident. I will definitely go back. ♥️

Absolutely delicious. Well worth the visit (though probably advisable to book in advance to ensure availability)!

Absolutely amazing—everything was perfect, from the service to the atmosphere! And the food… OMG! Absolutely shockingly good! A must visit, amazing job, ladies!

If you haven't eaten here you're missing out.

Wonderful food and service too. Lovely surroundings and friendly staff too. We will be back!

Really incredible food and lovely staff. Definitely one of the best restaurants in town! Went here for our anniversary meal and the staff put up a decoration that said 'happy anniversary' :)

Super, super delicious pork belly. Wonderful staff!

Once again, perfect food. My fish dish was heavenly. Katina was a joy to see again, as she greeted me with the most warm and friendliest of smiles. It was an added to bonus to quickly ab able to thank Noya for her scrumptious dishes. I can't wait to return. Thank you to all the team. Ciao for now! Katherine

Incredible. Best Vietnamese Restaurant I have ever been too. Delicious food and amazing atmosphere. Can't speak highly enough of this place.

Expensive - £17-19 for basic curry/rice or noodle bowl, though tasty.

We did a supper club here and it was delicious! The portions were so generous and we were full by the third course but just kept on eating

Sat in a cosy room downstairs, very nicely decorated, the server was attentive and helpful, both dishes chicken curry and beef stew were very tasty. Also had nice non alc options, both locally brewed. I'd definitely recommend

Food was absolutely incredible! Service was great apart from having to ask several times for drinks. A fantastic restaurant and would highly recommend.

Lived up to its excellent reputation. Great food and great service. Cocktails were very good.....and strong!!!!! ☺️

Superb start to finish. Wonderful flavours, generous portions, warm hospitality. We'll be back for supper club!

Had a super tasty lunch in such a lovely relaxed atmosphere

We had an amazing meal at Noya’s. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. They were very accommodating of us and our grumpy toddler!

First visit following a recommendation and I will return. Fantastic food from a limited menu, which is welcome as not overwhelmed with choice. The chicken curry was superb, with a nice level of heat. The staff were really attentive and the service was quick even though it was busy. Probably best to book ahead as it's only a small place.

Fantastic independent restaurant. Amazing food , superb service and an excellent experience. Will definitely revisit

Gone for lunch here a couple of times and always enjoy the food. Reasonable portions and incredibly tasty. Still never managed dessert. But the Vietnamese coffee is one of the best I’ve had.

The resturant was warm and inviting on a cold night. The service was attentive. We shared 2 starters both delicious. We both ordered the same main, chicken curry. We weren’t disappointed. The portion was plentiful and the flavours awesome. We washed it down with a nice South African Rose. We live 200 miles away but should we ever find ourselves in Bath again we would return in a heartbeat A really lovely evening.

We had a great dinner at Noya Kitchen the food was excellent along with very friendly service made our evening and we will be definitely coming back.

Food was not bad but overpriced, overrated.

Fabulous meal, really interesting flavours and a proper food experience. Great friendly service that was just right. Had a very enjoyable experience, would definitely recommend and will return when we are next in Bath.

Brilliant all round, had been waiting for a while to get a reservation and well worth the wait, highly recommend

We were recommended Noya's Kitchen by a bartender in Fidel's Rum Bar. When we turned up it was fully booked and smelled amazing. We made sure to book a table for the next night and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious and aromatic, and definitely not afraid of some heat. It felt like authentic food and the cocktails were exotic twists on some classics.

Fantastic! Beautiful spaces - Georgian rooms reimagined as a lovely Vietnamese restaurant; really lovely server; food colourful, delicious, very authentic per my co diner, and very filling; prices very fair. Highly recommended. You do need to book - every table was booked on this chilly January lunchtime!

Excellent. A must try again and again. The balance of flavours. Portion size just right. Highly recommended. You'll need to book the word is out.

The most delicious food! Everything we ordered was sensational.

Very welcoming. Quirky but lovely little place. Food was amaaaaazing. Cocktails were lovely. The best dumplings ever.

Only drawback is that my partner and I were so full after a starter and main each for lunch, after a decent breakfast, be prepared for big portions! Too good to leave anything at the end, mind.

Incredible experience, awesome food.

Great food, I had the belly pork noodles, which was really tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My favourite place to eat in Bath!

Delicious food, generous portions - large meat/noodle bowls about £17-19, so not a pocket friendly quick lunch Place needs a dehumidifier- so damp inside, windows steamed up. The veggie omelette vermicelli starter (£7.50) was tasty and v filling although far too many noodles in the roll - needs more omelette and veggies. Sadly I wouldn't return as the service was the worst of that polite insincere British nonsense - sing-songy, "we really care but we don't " BS:- we had asked repeatedly for no fresh coriander. Yet the main meal arrived full of coriander (strewn through with fresh mint). My friend spent 10 minutes removing it. The waitress offered for it to be returned to the kitchen - why, when we had already ordered it very clearly without fresh coriander? We declined. 10% discount was applied to the dish with no comment as the bill slid onto the table, accompanying some super ditzy sing-songy comments about the kitchen staff as the waitress wandered away. So tired of this BS at certain restaurants- why not have some integrity and face the issue head on with actual care and directness?! It's just so confusing to me. Act like you give a sh×× when someone makes a request. There are plenty of places in Bath to eat where staff actually listen. Do better.

Absolutely amazing Vietnamese food. I went for a Sunday meal and had prawn summer rolls and An’s Vietnamese chicken curry both very tasty!

Delicious meal and overall excellent experience.

What a wonderful little Gem in Bath. The food was absolutely perfect, such amazing flavours and presented beautifully. Definitely on our list to go back to at some point!

Our first time at Noya’s on a personal recommendation. Busy for a Friday lunchtime service which was a sign of good things to come. A small menu but the flavours were superb; not excessively salty like some or fatty like others, just perfectly balanced fresh dishes. Interesting Vietnamese beverages enriched the overall experience. Service was friendly and attentive, decor and ambience refreshingly different. £195 for six people incl tip but little alcohol. A definite regular from now on.

Excellent food, very high quality and flavoursome, very quick service and quirky drinks menu. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely fabulous. We had the pork belly noodles and the tofu noodles. Both dishes were bursting with flavour. We will be back.

Delicious authentic Vietnamese cuisine from Noya and her team. Great value, friendly ambience, super service- what’s not to love?!

Very few items on the menu mean each dish is delishes! Make sure you save room for desert! Special thanks for being so accomodating with to our baby twins

Lovely friendly relaxed atmosphere. Food authentic, tasty and freshly prepared. Really wished we lived closer. We will return.

The best Vietnamese restaurant ever!! Food and service is always excellent.Thank you!

Cosy, intimate dining setting. Super friendly staff. High quality and tasty authentic food. Well worth a visit.

Lovely little place. Great staff. Awesome food.

Delicious, authentic Vietnamese! Highly recommended!

Hands down the best, and most authentic, Vietnamese food I've had in a long while. Will definitely be returning, everything was fresh, beautifully cooked, the service was brilliant, five stars all round. Highly recommend!

We visited Noya’s Kitchen last week for my birthday lunch. It was absolutely delicious, with lovely, friendly staff, a cool vibe and huge portions! We have already booked to come back again next week! We would highly recommend Noya’s - a must visit, great restaurant, in a city full of places to eat.

It has been a number of years since visiting Noya's, and it was delightful to find the ambience, food and service continued to be of a high standard. The food is flavoursome with nice size portions. The wines are well selected and the service was charming. Highly recommend a visit!
